Die Insel unter dem Meer

Isabel Allende's novel could not be more colourful and realistic. Against the background of the historical slave revolts in the Caribbean, she describes the gripping fate of the mulatto girl Zarité, who is sold to a white plantation owner as a young girl. Chained to her master's family by multiple personal ties, Zarité must find her own way to finally attain freedom.
With her new novel The Island Under the Sea, the Chilean bestselling author takes us from the sugar cane plantations on Saint-Domingue, today's Haiti, to the vibrant New Orleans of the early 19th century. A dazzling, dramatic arc of images around a strong woman who risks everything and unconditionally fights for her freedom.
